As usual, it's all about scale and complexity. Newspapers lying/embellishing wss always possible and done. A troll farm spray vomiting lies/embellishing information to twist narratives is effectively the same, but takes a lot less effort and can have a much higher impact. Many people already fail at critical thinking online, falling for all sorts of scams and propaganda. I'm pretty sure Reimagine, easily accessible deepfakes, LLMs will only muddy the waters even more. And when everything is muddy, everything looks the same - reality and "alternative facts" alike. We're already in the beginning of the "post-truth era", with high profile people such as politicians being able to blatantly lie over easily provable things and their followers just lapping it up. Things are only going to get worse, with even more polarisation, more exploitation/abuse from internal or external enemies on the macro scale, but also on the micro one (cf. schoolgirls getting deepfake porn of them created in a number of countries; with Reimagine this can be something like fixing photos to add someone being close with their ex to stir shit up). It will all have devastating consequences on societies. There isn't really a solution possible either, which is what makes this worse.
